SoftBank Group Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) and Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) are developing next-generation artificial intelligence memory chips designed to consume half the power of current technology, addressing critical energy challenges in Japan&#8217;s growing data center market.
What Happened: The companies established Saimemory, a joint venture targeting commercialization within the 2020s through a 10 billion yen ($70 million) project, <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Tech/Semiconductors/SoftBank-Intel-work-on-AI-memory-chips-that-use-half-as-much-power">reported</a> Nikkei. The initiative focuses on stacked DRAM chips with innovative wiring structures that significantly reduce power consumption compared to existing high-bandwidth memory (HBM).
SoftBank leads the investment with 3 billion yen, while Japan&#8217;s Riken research institute and Shinko Electric Industries are considering participation. The venture leverages Intel&#8217;s technology and patents from the University of Tokyo and other Japanese academic institutions, the report noted.
The project addresses supply chain vulnerabilities as South Korea&#8217;s SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics dominate HBM production. Current HBM technology suffers from low production yields, high costs, and intense energy requirements, creating access challenges for Japanese companies.
&#8220;We want priority for the supply,&#8221; a SoftBank executive said, according to the report, highlighting the strategic importance for the company&#8217;s AI data center plans.

Why It Matters: This development represents Japan&#8217;s attempt to regain semiconductor prominence after losing over 70% DRAM market share in the 1980s to South Korean and Taiwanese competitors. Elpida Memory, Japan&#8217;s last DRAM manufacturer, was acquired by Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) in 2013 following bankruptcy.
SoftBank plans to deploy the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44327422/softbank-to-build-676-million-ai-data-center-in-japan-linked-to-openai-partnership">new memory technology in AI training data centers</a>, where processing large datasets requires substantial computing power. The company recently acquired Sharp&#8217;s LCD factory for $676 million to build a 150-megawatt AI data center in Osaka, supporting its OpenAI partnership and broader AI infrastructure strategy.

SoftBank And Intel Set To Launch $70 Million AI Memory Project In Japan To Slash Power Use

BG-C9074, a B7-H4-targeting ADC (<a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fmeetings.asco.org%2Fabstracts-presentations%2F249387&amp;esheet=54263182&amp;newsitemid=20250602546858&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Abstract+%233033&amp;index=2&amp;md5=8296b0d4901d6b49866abc285a0544c0">Abstract #3033</a>)
BeOne presented initial results of the ongoing first-in-human, Phase 1a dose escalation study of BG-C9074 monotherapy in 78 patients with advanced solid tumors, of which more than a quarter were breast cancer patients. BG-C9074, an investigational topoisomerase I inhibitor ADC that targets the B7-H4 protein, which is broadly expressed in breast and gynecologic cancers, is designed with an innovative drug linker to deliver a potent cancer-killing drug directly to the cancer cells.
With limited follow-up among the 56 efficacy-evaluable patients, preliminary clinical responses were observed at multiple dose levels across various tumor types without selection for B7-H4 expression in these heavily pretreated patients. Confirmed overall response rate (ORR) was 16.1% (9/56; 95% CI: 7.6%–28.3%), with 9 confirmed partial responses; unconfirmed ORR was 25.0% (14/56; 14.4%-38.4%) (n=14 partial responses). Confirmed disease control rate (DCR) was 73.2% (59.7%-84.2%) and confirmed clinical benefit rate (CBR) was 17.9% (8.9%-30.4%). Pharmacokinetics (PK) were observed to be approximately dose-proportional across dose levels.
BG-C9074 showed a manageable safety and tolerability profile in patients with B7-H4 advanced solid tumors, including breast cancer. There were 5 dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) reported among 3 dose levels, all related to treatment: grade 3 fatigue (n=1); grade 3 febrile neutropenia (n=2); and grade 4 platelet count decreased (n=2). The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were nausea, fatigue, and neutropenia&#x2A;. The most common grade ≥3 TEAEs were neutropenia and thrombocytopenia†. There were no TEAEs leading to treatment discontinuation or death.
These data support the continued development of BG-C9074 in patients with advanced solid tumors. (<a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fclinicaltrials.gov%2Fstudy%2FNCT06233942&amp;esheet=54263182&amp;newsitemid=20250602546858&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=NCT06233942&amp;index=3&amp;md5=f3706bbfd50f5f88f1f4db378ac2e936">NCT06233942</a>)
BG-68501, a CDK2 inhibitor (<a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fmeetings.asco.org%2Fabstracts-presentations%2F249388&amp;esheet=54263182&amp;newsitemid=20250602546858&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Abstract%23+3115&amp;index=4&amp;md5=3d7f13e99b2a5cf6e899ab2ef0a202c8">Abstract# 3115</a>)
Dose-escalation data from the first-in-human, Phase 1a study of a novel CDK2 inhibitor, BG-68501, were presented as a poster today. BG-68501 is designed to address elevated CDK2 activity as well as cyclin E1-driven upregulation, two key resistance mechanisms that often limit the effectiveness of CDK4/6 inhibitors in treating HR+/HER2- breast cancer. CDK inhibitors target checkpoint proteins that control cell division to stop the growth of cancer cells.
A total of 57 enrolled patients with advanced solid tumors, including 19 patients with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer, received BG-68501 as monotherapy or in combination with fulvestrant in escalating dose cohorts (all received prior CDK4/6i).
Of the 37 efficacy-evaluable patients (all with monotherapy), unconfirmed overall response rate (ORR) was 5.4% (2/37; 95% CI: 0.7%–18.2%). Two extensively pretreated patients (5.4%) experienced unconfirmed partial response (PR), 15 patients (40.5%) had stable disease (SD), 15 patients (40.5%) had progressive disease (PD), and 5 patients (13.5%) were not evaluable/not assessed. Of the 2 patients with PR, both were breast cancer patients, and one was ongoing with treatment at the time of data cutoff, while the other had discontinued treatment. Unconfirmed clinical benefit rate (CBR) was 8.1% (3/37; 95% CI: 1.7%-21.9%) and unconfirmed disease control rate (DCR) was 45.9% (17/37; 95% CI: 29.5%-63.1%). BG-68501 demonstrated a linear PK profile consistent with preclinical data and signs of pharmacodynamic responses.
BG-68501 demonstrated a manageable safety and tolerability profile, with no DLTs observed to date during dose escalation. The most common TEAEs were vomiting, nausea, and fatigue, and TEAEs leading to treatment discontinuation occurred in 4 patients (7%) across all dose levels. There were no TEAEs leading to death.
The data support continued development of BG-68501 as a next-line option for tumors with CDK2 dependency. (<a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fclinicaltrials.gov%2Fstudy%2FNCT06257264&amp;esheet=54263182&amp;newsitemid=20250602546858&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=NCT06257264&amp;index=5&amp;md5=6e6fe01d115e2db279de5928e00f23f3">NCT06257264</a>)

Why It Matters: This decision by OPEC+ comes at a time when the global oil industry is witnessing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45655155/exxon-stock-vs-chevron-the-11-billion-barrel-oil-war-that-could-shake-up-energy-etfs">significant changes</a>. For instance, reports highlighted an ongoing battle between Chevron Corp and Exxon Mobil Corp for a share of one of the world&#8217;s most coveted oil finds in Guyana. This fight, centered around Hess Corp&#8217;s 30% interest in a massive Guyanese oil project, could potentially impact some of the largest energy ETFs available.
Despite the ongoing oil war, the decision to keep output levels steady has led to a surge in oil prices. This could have implications for the wider energy market.

Shell, Occidental Petroleum And Exxon Mobil Rise In Monday Premarket: What's Going On?

Upgrades

RBC Capital Upgrades Church & Dwight Co to Outperform, Raises Price Target to $114

U.S. stock futures fell on Monday after a mixed close on Friday. Futures of major benchmark indices were trading lower in premarket.
After the Federal appeals court temporarily reinstated Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs, he accused <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/05/45683326/trump-tariffs-temporarily-preserved-as-appeals-court-pauses-lower-ruling">China of violating an agreement</a> with the U.S. to ease tariffs in his Truth Social <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114596705340367716">post</a>. 
However, Trump did not specify the details of this violation. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday clarified that China was withholding critical minerals it agreed to release in a trade deal the country signed with U.S. negotiators last month in Geneva.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.44% and the two-year bond was at 3.92%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 98.7% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
According to Bob Elliott, the CIO of Unlimited Funds, there was a "consensus" among the market participants that TACO trade or Trump Always Chickens Out' trade is priced in, meaning investors anticipate Trump's tariff retreats, especially now that he is embroiled in the legal battle over the validation of his levied tariffs.
He implied that TACO could pave the way for a "Run It Hot" economic environment, characterized by growth-oriented policies and sustained stimulus, further fueling market optimism.
Elliott's post signaled a widespread belief that Trump&#8217;s possible tariff rollbacks or extensions are not only predictable but also conducive to a pro-growth economic stance.

Meanwhile, head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, Tom Lee, stated that a "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45715677/tom-lee-bets-on-a-new-bull-market-as-trumps-tariff-retreat-fuels-taco-trade-a">new bull market</a>" has emerged following the spike in the volatility gauge in April. &#8211;
"I think we had what was a miniature bear market, but has essentially rebirthed the new bull market," he <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/30/tom-lee-says-the-april-selloff-rebirthed-a-new-bull-market-.html?__source=twitter%7Cpro&amp;taid=6839dcb51dc732000173796f&amp;utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_content=pro&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter">told</a> CNBC as he expects "pretty shallow" dips from here, advising investors to consider small-cap stocks other than the Magnificent 7
"As I look at the second half, I think the small caps really have a strong case to be made, because as long as we move towards a tariff resolution, or the markets feel that way, then I think investors can actually start putting flows back into stocks other than the Mag Seven,&#8221; Lee said.

Twenty-five years ago, Nokia Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOK#NYSE">NOK</a>) stood tall as the undisputed leader of the mobile phone industry. In 2000, the Finnish telecom giant was valued at $204.28 billion.&nbsp;
By contrast, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) was a struggling computer company with a market capitalization of just $5.13 billion, making Nokia worth nearly 40 times more than the now-dominant tech titan.
The same year, Nokia released the legendary 3310, a durable, user-friendly phone that became an instant classic. It sold over 128 million units globally, <a href="https://medium.com/@shrutamdesai/nokia-3310-just-a-mobile-phone-or-more-22280babe9ba">according</a> to Medium.
However, just seven years later, everything changed. In 2007, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/01/30336631/the-iphone-was-unveiled-16-years-ago-heres-how-much-1-000-invested-in-apple-stock-after-the-debut-is">introduced the</a> iPhone, ushering in the smartphone era and sealing the fate of Nokia's once-thriving dumb phone empire.

Within a few years, Apple overtook Nokia—and nearly every other mobile manufacturer—in both innovation and market share. Today, Nokia's market cap is at $128.13 billion, while Apple is the third most valuable company in the world with a $2.99 trillion market capitalization.
Now, the script appears to be flipping again.
Apple, despite being one of the most valuable companies in history, has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45486193/why-is-apple-still-behind-on-ai-expert-dissects-reasons-behind-iphone-maker-lagging-likes-of-microsoft-and-amazon-despite-poaching-googles-ai-chief">slow to embrace the artificial intelligence</a> revolution that is reshaping the tech industry.
Meanwhile, rivals like Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google, Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and new-age startups like OpenAI are sprinting ahead with consumer and enterprise AI products.
The question now echoing through the corridors of the tech industry is whether Apple's lagging progress in AI could mirror Nokia's decline—a once-dominant player caught flat-footed by the next wave of innovation.

Eddy Cue, a senior executive at Apple, has also hinted that AI could have the same disruptive impact on Apple as the iPhone once had on Nokia.
During his testimony in the DOJ's antitrust case against Alphabet, Cue warned that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45488603/apples-ai-powered-home-services-strategy-could-upend-yelp-angi-goog-insider-says-trust-data-and-ux-key-in-this-500b-market">iPhone itself could lose relevance</a> within the next decade, adding, "As crazy as that sounds."
Jony Ive, Apple's former design chief, has also referred to smartphones and laptops as "legacy products," implying they no longer define the future of computing. His remark came as OpenAI shared <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45640879/openais-sam-altman-says-6-5b-deal-with-jony-ive-to-build-ai-companions-could-add-1-trillion-in-company-value-report">plans to develop</a> a line of AI-driven devices in collaboration with the renowned designer.
According to Gene Munster, managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, OpenAI now presents the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45599511/apple-faces-first-serious-threat-in-20-years-as-openai-acquires-iphone-makers-former-design-chief-jo">most serious competitive threat</a> to Apple in the past two decades.
While Apple is rumored to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45712700/apples-ai-struggles-to-keep-pace-with-rivals-ahead-of-wwdc-2025">unveil new AI features</a> at its Worldwide Developers Conference on June 9, the pressure is mounting.
Price Action: Over the past five years, Apple shares have risen by 142.34%, though they are down 17.63% year-to-date, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
